Template:Realworld Star Trek: Tactics is a series of multi-player or multi-team games which are produced by WizKids.

Star Trek: Tactics

Star Trek: Tactics logo

Star Trek: Tactics premiered at retail in February 2012 and includes thirty-three ships from the Federation and Klingon factions.

The starter kit and booster pack ships utilize the "Clix" system of game play and are compatible with WizKids' long-running series of "HeroClix" games. In the starter game, two or more players command multi-generational fleets of starships while representing either the Federation Starfleet or the Klingon Defense Force. The duration of a single game is estimated at sixty minutes.

The booster pack ships are sold in sealed "blind boxes" without printed information about which ship is inside, similar to the marketing model used by "gashapon" toy manufacturers in Japan. Unpainted versions of all of the ship molds from the first Star Trek: Tactics game were previously released in the Star Trek: Fleet Captains base game.

The company also released the Star Trek: Attack Wing game in August 2013. Apart from being mounted on different stands, its painted ships are identical to those sold with Tactics. However, Attack Wing's Federation faction ships do not have names or registry numbers painted onto their hulls.[1]. Also the (painted) Klingon D7-class and K't'inga-class use the (incorrect) mold from the cloaked IKS B'Moth from the 2nd Set.

Star Trek: Tactics Starter Set

  • Includes a 2011 Core Rulebook, a 2011 Powers and Abilities card, two double-sided maps, two dice, and the following starships:

Star Trek: Tactics Booster Packs

Common starships

Uncommon starships

Rare starships

Star Trek: Tactics Organized Play Kit

The promotional Star Trek: Tactics Organized Play Kit was made available to retailers for tournament play in early 2012. Three copies of the Warship Voyager model and five copies of an additional double-sided map were included.

Note: the D7-class and K't'inga-class Klingon ships share the same mold.
Wizkids originally slated the USS Montgolfier to be the non-canon Saber-class USS da Vinci from the "Starfleet Corps of Engineers" novels but licensing limitations prevented this. This is the first appearance of this name and registry, which was created in conjunction with CBS and is a reference to the Montgolfier brothers. [2] Its card lists the registry as NCC-40109 but NCC-94943 is printed on the ship's hull.

Star Trek: Tactics Expansions

Star Trek: Tactics is based on an "expandable" board game model which allows additional players and battle scenarios.

Away Team Expansion Pack

A seven figure Tactics expansion pack was released in August 2012. These figures were previously released in the Star Trek: Expeditions game but with different "Clix" bases.

Star Trek Movie Mini-Game

A two figure "mini-game" was released in April 2013.

In January 2013, WizKids released a new game with thirty-six ships including vessels from the Vulcan, Ferengi, Cardassian, Dominion, Romulan, Breen, Klingon, and Federation factions.

Unpainted versions of the Romulan ship molds from the Star Trek: Tactics II game were previously released in the Star Trek: Fleet Captains expansion, and several of the other factions' ship molds were repeated from the earlier Star Trek: Tactics game.

Star Trek: Tactics II Organized Play Kit

The promotional Star Trek: Tactics II Organized Play Kit was made available to retailers for tournament play in early 2013. Three copies of the Battleship Enterprise model and five copies of an additional double-sided map were included.

Note: The (cloaked/transparent) IKS B'Moth uses a different mold than the K't'inga-class from the first set, wherein the bridge structure is falsely twisted by 90 °, so that the bridge dome ist on the left side. Further it has less detail on the rear superstructue and the warp nacelles.
The Vor'cha-class is a new mold too.
The Cardassian Keldon-class "Kornak" mold was correctly identified as the "Koranak" in Wizkids' successive game, Star Trek: Attack Wing.

Star Trek: Tactics III

On 17 July 2013, WizKids announced a new game with at least twenty-eight ships including vessels from the Borg, Bajoran, Federation, Kazon, and Species 8472 factions, including assimilated vessels with combined team abilities from both the Borg and the original species' faction.

The game will include at least eleven common, ten uncommon, and seven rare starships. A number of the ships molds have been repeated from earlier Star Trek: Tactics games.

The game was slated to be released on 18 September but the retail release date was later revised to 23 Oct 2013.
